Do you know which is the most dangerous tribe in the world? The people of this tribe are still cut off from the mainstream and if anyone reaches their area, they kill him. You will be surprised to know that this tribe is not found in the Amazon rainforest or Africa, rather people of this tribe live on an island in India. Even if someone goes here by mistake, it is difficult for him to escape. These people have been living isolated from the whole world for more than 30 thousand years. Now you must be wondering where is this island and what is its name?
Let us tell you that North Sentinel Island of Andaman is considered the most dangerous in the world. The tribe living here has cut itself off from the entire world. That is, despite all the efforts, he did not consider it appropriate to join the mainstream. The tribe living on North Sentinel Island attracted public attention when they murdered Christian missionary John Allen Chau in 2018. John described North Sentinel Island as “Satan’s last stronghold on Earth.” The people of this tribe had earlier also killed all those people who reached their island. This is the only tribe in whose life or internal affairs the Indian government does not interfere. Also, the government has imposed a ban on outsiders going here.
Why do we consider outsiders as enemies?
Recently discovered documents reveal why the tribe living on Sentinel Island are so hostile towards outsiders. In fact, they attribute this to kidnapping, illness and disturbing personal photographs. Canadian-born colonial administrator Maurice Vidal Portman was in command of the Royal Navy when it attacked North Sentinel Island. It is said that this attack was not successful, but a feeling of hostility towards outsiders developed in this tribe. Following the attack, Portman kidnapped two Sentinelese adults and four children and took them to Port Blair, the capital of the South Andaman Islands.

Epidemic spread due to kidnapping
An epidemic spread on the island because of the people kidnapped by Portman. It is said that the Sentinelese, who lived in isolation from the rest of the world for thousands of years, had no immunity to many common diseases. In such a situation, the kidnapped people soon fell ill. Adults died. However, the children recovered from this disease. In such a situation, he was again sent back to the island. But diseases were present inside those children, which spread a devastating epidemic among the people living here. In such a situation, it is speculated that this experience may be the reason for the Sentinelese’s continued hostility and rejection of outsiders.
Portland was interested in personal things related to the body
After the attack, Portland wrote extensively about Sentinel Island. He created a collection of photographs to document the research, which discusses many of the inappropriate things related to the bodies of these tribes. Not only this, Portman was particularly interested in the private parts of men from North Sentinel and surrounding islands. Portman also wrote many things about the women there. Even after the attack, Portman tried to return to North Sentinel Island more than once over the next few years, but the Sentinels kept hiding from him each time.
population is decreasing
This island is protected by the Government of India. Its 5-mile radius falls within the exclusion zone, but still people like John Allen Chau occasionally try to infiltrate. There have been no formal attempts at contact with the Sentinelese in recent years, but the island’s population appears to be declining. Also, the exact reason for their isolation, due to outsiders being unable to learn the Sentinelese language, would soon be lost to history. People of this tribe also try to attack helicopters flying nearby with arrows and spears.
